  I want to create mapping for my domain, but I don’t want to change dns servers to *.wordpress.com. I have my own dns server and lots of subdomains + email settings. How I can redirect only specific subdomain name to wordpress?
  I have using similar solution for free from blogspot.com, but decided to switch and use wordpress.com as hosting solution.
  Blog url: http://timsod.wordpress.com/

  @designsimply: one more question, this solution work before or after payment for mapping?
  I tried without payment and setup my DNS with CNAME settings, before I ask here.

  Adding subdomain was denied by web interfaces.

  Maybe I need to wait DNS cache to be refreshed after 72 hours?
